One of them is the practice of community-based drinking water and sanitation (Pamsimas) and community-based sanitation (Sanimas), which is managed by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (MPWH).

Director General Cipta Karya of the MPWH, Diana Kusumastuti, said the government has implemented the provision of community-based drinking water and sanitation (Pamsimas) and community-based sanitation (Sanimas) and has proven that it is capable of opening up access to clean water, especially in villages.
